    Paint (fading, chalking, cracking, or peeling)

    "The new front grill on 2025 models looks great but gets bad road rash"

    Anonymous, FL (2025 Hyundai Palisade Limited 3.8-L V6)

    "Started immediately after buying. The black paint on the entire front grille started peeling off. Under is a silver color, so it is black painted over silver. I am in the process of getting most of the pieces replaced under warranty, but it's been a fiasco getting all the parts ordered. They replaced 3 of the parts once, but they were scratched and are replacing again. It may happen again since the parts are the same. I don't think the silver part is primered, so the paint isn't sticking. Sad really because I love everything else about the car. I may not have purchased if I had known this would happen. for such a costly car; a huge mistake by Hyundai."
